Planting a Perennial Garden

There is no “rule” for planting your perennial garden. You can mix up your annuals and perennials as poly-crops or companion plants. However, you will want to plant your perennials in a forever spot as they will come back year after year if properly cared for.

Mint and some other herbs will spread continuously so keeping them in a container garden is advised.

Plant with your needs in mind. Grow vertical if your space is small.
